A Photo from the Top of the Ferris Wheel on the Midway

This is taken from the current Oak Hill area, looking northwest towards the soccer field.

This view shows (top to bottom, left to right with present equivalents in parentheses): the Fine Arts Building (Driving Club tennis courts); the Bell Tower with its carillon (Atlanta Botanical Garden orchid house); U.S. Government Building (Atlanta Botanical Garden conservatory); Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Building (tennis courts); Woman’s Building (just north of Bathhouse, south of tennis courts); Japanese Village (northwest bank of lake); bridge; the round Atlanta Brewing Company Beer Garden (Saturn Playground); and Costa Rica Building (Mayors’ Memory Grove). The photo also provides a clear view of the Grand Plaza (left middle) with all its steps, balustrades, and sculptural decorations. In the foreground is an electric launch, providing visitors with short trips across the lake. What looks like a wall across the north end of the lake was actually a stage set, used as a backdrop for fireworks displays recreating naval battles on the lake.
